Melt coconut oil and honey and mix it with cashew butter, protein powder, coconut shreds, vanilla, cinnamon and coconut milk. Roll into balls and chill in the refrigerator or freezer. They are so good that you might want to eat them all up!

My daughter little z loves them as much as I do and if she sees me eating one she will say “hey, why didn’t you get me one?”

HOMEMADE CASHEW BUTTER

Puree 8-16 ounces raw cashews in a food processor for 10-15 minutes (the longer you go the smoother it becomes). Stop to scrap down the sides every few minutes. When you get toward the end, you can add coconut oil, honey, vanilla, cinnamon and/or salt to your liking. We like ours a little on the thick side with oil, honey and vanilla. So delicious and much less expensive then the store bought kind. ENJOY!

Here is a peek at some of our toddler easter crafts:

and last but not least here is our version of easter peeps! We will post this homemade peep recipe soon. We had so much fun and lots of laughs!

Have you ever made your own nut butter?

What is your favorite kind?

We are experimenting with new flavors but right now this cashew butter with coconut oil and honey is my favorite! My daughter does not like almond but she will eat cashew and peanut butter. Maybe it is the color she likes?

Hi, my name is Kara, I am a wife and mother who is busy trying to find balance in this busy life. I am a lover of many things including food, fitness, and all things family! I recently closed my fitness studio after six years to focus on my family. I found myself missing something and decided that I could share my passions and hope to inspire others through my blog. I graduated from the University of Arizona with a Nutritional Science degree and am a certified trainer and instructor. I am by no means an expert and continue to learn new things everyday. I currently live in Idaho with my husband "f" and my sweet toddler "z".
